Why can nosebleed in hot summer?

Don't be nervous about nosebleeds in hot weather ● Chinese medicine believes that it is related to lung heat, so you should eat more foods that clear away heat and reduce fire ● Western medicine believes that it is related to nasal dryness and does not need special treatment. Nosebleeds in hot weather are not caused by excessive internal heat: Zhang Song, male, is 29 years old. Summer is coming, and he often gets up in the morning with nosebleeds. It took him a long time to stop his nose. His mother said it was easy to get angry when it was hot. Therefore, he has never been to the hospital. Analysis: Professor Yang Li of China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine pointed out that getting angry is not the cause of nosebleeds. In summer, some people will feel that the nasal cavity is a little dry and there is blood in the nose. What's serious is that blood suddenly spurts out of my nose and I can't stop it. Chinese medicine believes that nosebleeds are caused by the upwelling of qi and blood. The nose belongs to the lung orifices, and there is a disease in the nose. Generally speaking, it has a lot to do with the abnormality of lung and liver. When people's qi and blood rise, especially when the lung is hot, people will have nosebleeds. When the lung qi is overheated, people's eyes will also be bloody or bleeding. The cause of excessive internal heat and nosebleeds is the same, both of which are the result of rising qi and blood, but excessive internal heat is not the cause of nosebleeds. Professor Song Haitao, director of the Department of Otolaryngology, Beijing Hospital, believes that nosebleeds in summer are related to hot weather and dry nasal cavity. If the nasal cavity is too dry, the capillaries inside will rupture, leading to bleeding. 90% of nosebleeds in clinic belong to vascular bleeding caused by vascular rupture. In this regard, patients need not be too nervous. In most cases, they can handle it themselves and stop the bleeding in time. When the nose bleeds, you can block the nose with a cotton swab and tilt your head back to stop the bleeding as soon as possible. At the same time, you can also apply a cold towel to your forehead or nose to reduce the temperature of your head and nose to relieve bleeding symptoms. If there is too much bleeding in the nasal cavity and it is difficult to stop, you should see a doctor in time. Nosebleeds should be treated according to the situation, and some nosebleeds need special attention in summer. Professor Yang Li said that when the weather is hot and dry, people may be angry, angry or even have a bad rest, which may lead to nosebleeds. In addition, drinking alcohol and eating too much spicy food may also lead to lung heat and nosebleeds. In addition, people exposed to the sun can cause blood vessels in the head to dilate, leading to nose bleeding. So we should avoid these situations and reduce the possibility of nosebleeds. Professor Song Haitao said that in summer, nose bleeding is not only caused by the dry climate, but also related to people's age. When the weather is dry, the elderly are prone to symptoms of nasal congestion. If the old man suddenly has a lot of nosebleeds and it is not easy to stop them, it is necessary to doubt whether he has high blood pressure. It is best to go to the hospital for examination. Young people with nosebleeds are also related to fatigue and exercise. Young people, in particular, love sports, and often when exercising, their noses suddenly start to bleed. Under normal circumstances, these bleeding symptoms can be stopped by the patient. However, without warning, it is best for people with sudden nosebleeds to go to the hospital for examination and rule out diseases such as nasal cavity tumors as soon as possible. How to prevent nosebleeds Professor Song Haitao said that under normal circumstances, nasal blood vessel rupture and bleeding do not need special treatment. Professor Yang Li said that because nosebleeds are related to lung heat, people should try to avoid the occurrence of lung heat in their diet and life. Drink less, eat less spicy food and eat less food that may cause fever. On the contrary, you can eat more bitter gourd, mung bean soup, watermelon, cold drinks and other foods. Take 3 grams of winter mulberry leaves, add cogongrass rhizome and Ophiopogon japonicus, and add appropriate amount of licorice to soak in water for drinking, which can achieve the purpose of clearing heat and reducing fire. ▲ What are the most common cases of adult nosebleeds in Global Times Life Weekly (July 5, 2005 19 edition)? 1. Local factors: nasal cavity and sinusitis, deviated nasal septum, trauma, tumor and bad nose digging habit. Among them, nasopharyngeal tumors often show bloody nose or a small amount of bleeding in the early stage, which is easy to be ignored. 2. Systemic factors: various febrile infectious diseases, hypertension, heart disease, blood system diseases, chronic liver and kidney diseases, nutritional disorders, endocrine disorders and chemical drug poisoning. What should I do if I suddenly have a nosebleed? If you encounter nosebleeds, you must stay calm and don't panic, otherwise your blood pressure will rise and the bleeding will be aggravated. If you feel blood flowing into your mouth, try to spit it out so as not to irritate your stomach. When there is a small amount of bleeding, put a cotton ball into the nostril and press the acupoint tightly for 5- 10 minutes. If the bleeding is not relieved, the time can be appropriately extended, and the nose and forehead can be cold-compressed. If Yunnan Baiyao can be added, the effect will be better. If the bleeding is serious or repeated, go to the hospital in time. Matters needing attention in the treatment of nosebleeds 1. Being too nervous often leads to incoherence. Patients and their families should try to stay calm and briefly explain the onset and past medical history (whether there are other diseases) to the doctor. 2. In order to find the bleeding point, the doctor may use some drugs to shrink the nasal mucosa and perform endoscopic examination. If you are allergic to certain drugs, you should inform us in time. If the doctor thinks that the bleeding may be caused by other reasons, he will have blood test and X-ray examination. If you have had a similar examination recently, you need to bring relevant information with you when you see a doctor. If it has been proved that nosebleeds are really caused by other diseases, don't give up further etiological treatment because the bleeding has stopped. This is tantamount to laying a curse for more serious bleeding in the future. How to prevent nosebleed? Nosebleeds sometimes occur repeatedly, so we should pay more attention to prevention at ordinary times. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits in the diet, supplement enough vitamins, and keep the stool unobstructed. Get rid of the bad habit of smoking and drinking. In the dry season, you can apply some antibiotic ointment or drop peppermint paraffin oil into your nose to keep the nasal mucosa moist. If you have chronic diseases such as hypertension and heart disease, you should actively treat them to avoid repeated nosebleeds. For adults with frequent nosebleeds or repeated small amounts of bleeding, be extra vigilant. Because the early symptoms of tumors in nasal cavity, sinus and nasopharynx are blood in nasal mucus. The location of these tumors is relatively hidden and difficult to find. Once there are obvious symptoms such as nasal congestion or ear, face and teeth, most of the lesions have spread or metastasized. Therefore, it is more appropriate to treat both the symptoms and the root causes and nip in the bud.
